Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiation protection equipment, and in particular to a multi-scale adaptive fixing system for lead plates. Background Art

[0002] CT technology is widely used in modern medical imaging equipment, but CT equipment generates radiation during operation. Lead plates are commonly used radiation shielding materials, and their installation and protection system performance are crucial.

[0003] Traditional lead plate fixing and protection technologies have many defects. In terms of mechanical fixing, ordinary clamps are difficult to adapt to the flatness error during lead plate installation, and the clamping force control accuracy is low, which can easily cause plastic deformation of the lead plate during use, affecting its shielding effect and service life. In addition, traditional clamps are inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and consume a lot of time and manpower when maintaining equipment or replacing lead plates. In terms of environmental adaptability, traditional systems cannot effectively cope with different temperature and humidity environments, and lead plates are susceptible to corrosion, which shortens the overall service life of the equipment. At the same time, traditional protection systems lack effective intelligent monitoring methods and cannot grasp the fixing status of the lead plate, radiation leakage, and equipment operation stability in real time. Once a fault occurs, it is difficult to detect and deal with it in time, which may cause radiation leakage and pose a threat to the health of medical staff and patients.

[0004] Therefore, a multi-scale adaptive fixation system for lead plates is proposed. Through innovative mechanical fixation structure, environmental control technology, and intelligent monitoring and early warning mechanism, the accuracy and stability of lead plate installation are improved, its environmental adaptability is enhanced, and real-time monitoring of equipment status and fault early warning are achieved, thereby ensuring the radiation protection effect and promoting the development of radiation protection technology for medical imaging equipment.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 and 2 The present invention proposes a multi-scale adaptive fixing system for lead plates, comprising the following contents:

[0029] Module 1: Multi-scale adaptive mechanical fixation module

[0030] (1) Shape memory alloy driven fixture

[0031] 1. Three-dimensional adaptive clamping structure design

[0032] The clamp body uses a Ti-Ni-based shape memory alloy as the driving core, and constructs a three-degree-of-freedom clamping arm structure. The clamping arm consists of a base, a rotating joint, a telescopic arm, and a pressure-bearing surface at the end. Among them, the base is made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and is hard-anodized with a film thickness of 25μm. It has excellent salt spray corrosion resistance, salt spray corrosion resistance time is not less than 1000 hours, and tensile strength is not less than 500MPa; the rotating joint is equipped with a dual-axis flexible hinge, which can achieve ±15° rotation, so that the clamping arm can adaptively adjust the angle within the range of ±10° in the normal direction of the lead plate surface, effectively compensating for the flatness error during lead plate installation (error value ≤2mm / m); the telescopic arm has a built-in SMA coil spring, whose phase change temperature is in the range of 40-60℃. It is driven by Joule effect heating, with a travel range of 5-30mm and a displacement accuracy of up to ±0.05mm; the end pressure-bearing surface is designed as an arc-shaped surface, and its curvature radius is set at 5-50mm according to the thickness of the lead plate, corresponding to a lead plate with a thickness of 0.5-50mm. The surface is sprayed with a 20μm thick polytetrafluoroethylene coating with a friction coefficient not exceeding 0.1, which can prevent the lead plate surface from being scratched during clamping.

[0033] 2. Dynamic force control and vibration suppression system

[0034] The adaptive clamping force algorithm monitors the SMA's operating temperature in real time via an integrated NTC thermistor (accuracy of ±0.3°C). Based on the Burgers model, it establishes a mapping between temperature and stress. Using a PID controller to adjust the drive voltage from 0-12V, it achieves continuously adjustable clamping force from 50 to 500N, with an accuracy of ±3N. Experimental data shows that for a 2mm thick lead plate, this system can control the local stress at the fixing point to below 50MPa, compared to 82MPa with conventional clamps, effectively preventing plastic deformation of the lead plate.

[0035] The magnetorheological fluid damping chamber utilizes a coaxial cylindrical structure with an inner diameter of 20mm, an outer diameter of 25mm, and an effective length of 50mm. It is filled with magnetorheological fluid (MRF-132DG) containing 65% carbonyl iron powder. When a current of 0-1.5A is applied to the coil winding, it produces a shear yield strength of 0-50kPa, enabling continuous adjustment of the damping coefficient from 15 to 1500N·s / m. In vibration tests ranging from 10 to 1000Hz, the damping system achieved an energy attenuation rate of 92% at a typical 50Hz vibration frequency for CT equipment, with a displacement suppression accuracy of ±0.01mm.

[0036] 3. Quick disassembly and assembly structure design

[0037] The interface between the fixture and the lead plate utilizes a composite structure combining vacuum suction and mechanical locking. A 10mm diameter micro vacuum cup is embedded within the pressure-bearing surface, offering a suction force range of 5-50N. During installation, the negative pressure suction response time is less than 1 second. Once positioned, the SMA telescopic arm applies mechanical clamping force, ensuring rapid and precise positioning of the lead plate. The fixture is connected to the support structure via M6 quick-release bolts with a torque range of 8-12N·m. A single fixture can be disassembled and assembled in less than 30 seconds, facilitating rapid on-site replacement.

[0038] (2) Modular quick-connect components

[0039] 1. Three-dimensional mortise and tenon precision joint structure

[0040] It adopts a composite connection structure of "cross trapezoidal tenon + elastic clip". The main tenon is designed with a trapezoidal cross-section, with an upper base of 8mm, a lower base of 12mm, a height of 10mm, and an angle of 15°. The fitting tolerance complies with the H7 / g6 standard. When inserted to a depth of at least 8mm, it can withstand a lateral tensile force of 500N. The secondary clip has a built-in stainless steel spring sheet with a thickness of 0.3mm and an elastic coefficient of 5N / mm. The clip protrusion is 2mm high, forming an interference fit with the mortise groove. The fitting clearance does not exceed 0.05mm, and it can provide an axial preload of 10-20N. The end of the tenon is set with a 45° chamfer to match the guide bevel in the mortise, realizing automatic centering during blind installation, with a centering accuracy of ±0.1mm.

[0041] 2. High-performance materials and surface treatment

[0042] The main material is titanium alloy TC4, formed using SLM selective laser melting technology. Its chemical composition is Ti-6Al-4V. After hot isostatic pressing at 1200°C and 150MPa, it has a tensile strength of no less than 900MPa and a fatigue life of no less than 1×10^6 cycles at a stress of 400MPa. A 5μm-thick diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) is deposited on the surface using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The coating has a hardness of no less than 20GPa, a coefficient of friction of no more than 0.12, and is resistant to at least 1000 wipes with medical alcohol. A single connection component weighs no more than 50g, approximately 60% of the weight of an aluminum alloy component of equivalent strength, making it suitable for the installation of large-span lead plates with a maximum span of 3m.

[0043] 3. Seam shielding reinforcement technology

[0044] When adjacent lead sheets are butted together, an Ω-shaped lead sealing strip is inserted into the mortise and tenon joints. The strip is 1mm thick, 25mm wide, and has a lead equivalent of no less than 1mmPb. A special pressure roller tool applies a pressure of 50-80N / cm to compact the joint, keeping the gap within 0.1mm. Radiation leakage testing based on the ISO12127-1 standard shows that this structure can control the leakage rate at the joint to below 0.08%, a significant improvement over the 5% leakage rate of traditional overlapped structures.

[0045] Module 2: Environmental Adaptive Control Module

[0046] (1) Temperature and humidity coordinated control system

[0047] 1. Dynamic temperature compensation device

[0048] The heating unit uses a 0.3mm thick PTC ceramic heating sheet with a resistance temperature coefficient of not less than 15% / K. Through finite element thermal analysis to optimize the layout, the grid is distributed with a spacing of 200mm, and the power density is set at 8-18W / ㎡. Under a -20℃ environment, the surface temperature of the lead plate can be increased to 10±1.5℃. A 0.5mm thick thermal conductive silicone sheet with a thermal conductivity of 3.0W / (m·K) is laid between the heating sheet and the lead plate, and the thermal resistance does not exceed 0.2℃·m 2 / W.

[0049] The cooling unit integrates copper micro-condensers with a diameter of 2mm and a wall thickness of 0.3mm. The tubes are arranged in a serpentine pattern with a spacing of 50mm. Circulating cooling water at a flow rate of 0.5L / min keeps the lead plate temperature within 40±2°C in a 60°C environment. The condensers are coated with a 100nm thick nano-silver coating, achieving an antibacterial rate of at least 99%, effectively inhibiting microbial growth.

[0050] The temperature control adopts a fuzzy PID controller, and the surface temperature signal of the lead plate is fed back by a PT100 sensor with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The heating / cooling switching response time does not exceed 10 seconds, and the temperature fluctuation range is controlled at ±2°C, which is a significant improvement compared to the ±5°C fluctuation range of the traditional system.

[0051] 2. Self-repairing nano-ceramic anti-corrosion coating

[0052] The coating system consists of two layers. The bottom layer is a 5μm thick SiO2 nanosol layer, which forms a three-dimensional network structure through hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction. The porosity does not exceed 5%, which can effectively isolate corrosive ions such as Cl- and SO42-, and its diffusion coefficient does not exceed 1×10^-12cm 2 / s; the surface layer is a 5μm thick polyurethane layer containing DCPD microcapsules, the microcapsules have a particle size of 5-10μm and a content of 15wt%, the shell material is urea-formaldehyde resin, the wall thickness is 1μm, and the core material is a mixed solution of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and a Grubbs catalyst with a concentration of 5wt%.

[0053] When cracks less than 50 μm in width develop in the coating due to mechanical impact or chemical corrosion, stress concentration at the crack tip causes the microcapsules to rupture, releasing DCPD monomers. Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) occurs under the action of a catalyst, forming a polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) repair layer within 2 hours. Testing according to ASTM D638 standards shows that the tensile strength recovery rate of the repaired coating is no less than 85%. After immersion in a 5% NaCl solution for 1000 hours, the coating loses no more than 0.2% in weight. After 500 wipes with a chlorine-containing disinfectant containing 1000 ppm of effective chlorine, the surface corrosion depth does not exceed 10 μm, significantly better than the 50 μm corrosion depth of traditional epoxy coatings.

[0054] (2) Lightweight composite lead plate

[0055] 1. Graphene-enhanced lead-based composites

[0056] The preparation process adopts powder metallurgy. First, lead powder with a purity of not less than 99.99% and a particle size of 50-100μm is mixed with graphene oxide (GO) with an oxygen functional group content of 15wt% in a mass ratio of 99:1. Under argon protection, it is uniformly dispersed by high-energy ball milling at 400rpm for 6 hours. Then, the mixed powder is reduced by hydrogen at a flow rate of 500mL / min at 250℃ for 2 hours to convert GO into graphene (rGO). The resulting graphene sheet has a thickness of 3-5nm and a lateral size of 1-5μm. Finally, it is sintered at a pressure of 150MPa and a temperature of 200℃ for 2 hours to prepare a density of 11.15g / cm 3 , composite panels with a relative density of not less than 98%.

[0057] The performance parameters of this composite plate are excellent, with a tensile strength of 230MPa (pure lead plate is only 45MPa), an elongation of 18% (pure lead plate 40%), and a hardness HB of 45 (pure lead plate 30); the lead equivalent of a 3mm thick composite plate is 3.1mmPb, which is 3% higher than the lead equivalent of 3.0mmPb of a pure lead plate. The thermal expansion coefficient is 26×10^-6 / ℃, which is lower than the 29×10^-6 / ℃ of a pure lead plate, and can effectively reduce the deformation stress caused by temperature changes.

[0058] 2. Edge sealing optimization design

[0059] The edge of the lead plate is processed by CNC milling machine with a 45° groove, a width of 10mm, and a surface roughness Ra not exceeding 3.2μm to ensure that the effective contact area between the sealant and the lead plate is not less than 90%. The sealing material is selected with a Shore hardness of A52 and a density of 1.2g / cm 3The silicone-based sealant has a tensile strength of no less than 1.5 MPa, an elongation at break of no less than 300%, and adhesion to lead plates of no less than 5 MPa after curing (according to ASTM D3330). 5 wt% of 50 nm nano-lead particles are incorporated into the sealant, ensuring a lead equivalent of no less than 1 mmPb at the joint. The sealing process utilizes an automatic glue applicator with a 12 mm wide and 1 mm thick strip. After lamination, a linear pressure of 50 N / m is applied. After curing for 24 hours, the measured joint leakage rate does not exceed 0.07%, significantly lower than the 0.5% leakage rate of traditional sealing processes.

[0060] Module 3: Intelligent Monitoring and Early Warning System

[0061] (1) Multi-dimensional sensor array

[0062] 1. Vibration and displacement monitoring unit

[0063] The MEMS accelerometer is a triaxial device with a ±50g range, 0.1mg resolution, a frequency response range of 0-2000Hz, and a noise density of no more than 30μg / √Hz. It is surface-mounted and fixed to the center of the fixture base using a dedicated bracket with a stiffness of at least 100N / mm to minimize signal attenuation. The sensor features a built-in anti-aliasing filter with a cutoff frequency of 1800Hz, enabling a data acquisition rate of 10kHz.

[0064] The laser displacement sensor, based on the principle of triangulation, measures distances from 5 to 50 mm, with a resolution of 0.005 mm and a linearity of ±0.1%. The transmitter and receiver are mounted at a 15° angle at the end of the fixture's telescopic arm, monitoring the relative displacement between the lead plate and the fixture in real time. The sensor incorporates an integrated temperature compensation module with a compensation range of -20°C to 60°C and an accuracy of ±0.01 mm.

[0065] 2. Radiation dose monitoring unit

[0066] The dual redundant scintillator dosimeter consists of a main sensor and a backup sensor. The main sensor uses NaI (Tl) crystal The response time is no more than 1 second, the range is 0-1000μSv / h, and the response deviation relative to 137Cs is no more than ±5% in the energy range of 30keV-10MeV; the backup sensor uses an effective area of ​​100mm 2 The Si semiconductor detector has a resolution of 0.1 μSv / h. The two data are compared in real time, triggering a redundancy check when the deviation exceeds 3%. A lead sleeve matching the screw's inner diameter, with a length of at least 10 mm and a lead equivalent of at least 1 mmPb, is inserted into the screw hole. The inner wall of the sleeve is threaded with a 1 mm pitch, providing a tight fit with the screw. Monte Carlo simulations (MCNP6) have verified that this structure can reduce the fixed-point leakage dose rate by over 90%.

[0067] (2) Edge computing and digital twin systems

[0068] 1. Intelligent computing power platform

[0069] The hardware architecture utilizes a heterogeneous computing chip, integrating an NPU with a computing power of at least 2TOPS, a CPU with a main frequency of 1.8GHz, and 4GB of RAM, supporting the deployment of TensorFlow Lite models. It also integrates an industrial-grade temperature sensor with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a hardware watchdog to ensure stable 24 / 7 system operation.

[0070] The algorithm system consists of a preprocessing layer, a feature engineering layer, and a decision-making layer. The preprocessing layer applies 5-1000Hz bandpass filtering to sensor data and removes outliers based on the 3σ criterion, ensuring a data efficiency of at least 99%. The feature engineering layer extracts 20 characteristic parameters, including the root mean square value and kurtosis of the vibration signal, the peak-to-peak value and rate of change of the displacement signal, the cumulative value of the radiation dose, and the gradient of change. The decision-making layer uses an LSTM-CNN fusion model with a forward propagation time of no more than 10ms. Based on 5000 hours of accelerated aging data training, the life prediction error does not exceed 4.2%, and the diagnostic accuracy for loosening, corrosion, and leakage faults is no less than 96% (with an F1 score of no less than 0.92).

[0071] 2. Digital Twin Modeling and Application

[0072] Geometric modeling involved acquiring 3D point cloud data of the lead plate and fixture system through industrial CT scanning with a resolution of 0.1 mm. This data was then processed using GAMBIT software to generate a solid model. The mesh was refined to 1 mm for key locations, such as the fixture contact area and joints. For physical modeling, the lead plate was defined as an elastoplastic body (bilinear isotropic hardening model with a yield strength of 40 MPa) and the fixture as a rigid body in ANSYS Workbench. The contact type was set to "friction contact" (friction coefficient of 0.15). The stress distribution of the fixture system under vibration load was calculated with an accuracy of ±5 MPa. A conjugate heat transfer model was established using COMSOL Multiphysics, accounting for the lead plate's thermal conductivity (35 W / (m·K)), air convection (film coefficient of 10 W / (m2·K)), and radiation heat transfer (emissivity of 0.2). The temperature field calculation error was calculated to within 1°C.

[0073] Sensor data drives the digital twin with a cycle of 100ms. When the joint stress in the virtual model exceeds 80MPa or the temperature is higher than 65℃, the system automatically marks the red warning area and sends a shutdown signal to the PLC through the ModbusTCP protocol. The response time does not exceed 25 seconds.

[0074] (3) Communication and early warning mechanism

[0075] The transmission network supports both 5GNR (Sub-6GHz frequency band, peak rate of 1Gbps) and NB-IoT (low-power wide area network, transmission delay of less than 100ms) modes to meet the communication needs of different scenarios. The AES-256 encryption algorithm is used to protect data transmission and ensure the security of radiation monitoring data.

[0076] The multi-level warning strategy is as follows: Level 1 warning (yellow), when the vibration displacement exceeds 0.05mm or the radiation dose rate exceeds 2.5μSv / h, a local sound and light alarm with a volume of 85dB and a flash frequency of 2Hz is triggered; Level 2 warning (orange), if the abnormal fluctuation of the clamping force exceeds the set value by 20% or the coating corrosion depth exceeds 20μm, in addition to the local alarm, a text message notification is sent to the operation and maintenance terminal at the same time, and the response time does not exceed 30 seconds; Level 3 warning (red), when the joint leakage rate exceeds 0.1% or the lead plate stress exceeds 100MPa, the equipment power supply is automatically cut off, the backup shielding device is activated, and the supervision platform is reported, and the response time does not exceed 5 seconds.
